Tip #2

Your stomach empties after 3 hours/every three hours. I make it a point to eat then. And I don't care about all these 100-calorie pouch, or dairy (pudding) items, if I want to eat at the end of 3 hours, I still do but I do it healthfully. That is to say, on Sundays, I clean and rinse and slice/chop celery, carrots (not the midget ones), green and/or sweet peppers, cucumber, and then individually wrap them into packets of 3-4 ounces. When I prepare my lunch nightly, I toss a packet in and either Sabra Greek humus or something equivalent (2 Tbsp.) Or, Cabot makes a VERY fat free cheese product, so I munch on 1-2 ounces because of lower calories but it is a protein source. But, like I said before, I have chanpioned not eating anything solid after 7 p.m.
